It had an excellent flavor. I used salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder as seasonings. The meat was extremely tender, even cooked well done. I would say the texture/feel was somewhere between sirloin and tenderloin.
Cajun, if you liked it as a roast, you ought to try it as a steak. Ask your Butcher to cut one into steaks for you and repeat what you did with the roast-just remember that they won't take as long to get done. Plus you can have yours the way you want it and do one "over done" for the wife.
As for it tasting like sirloin-the tri-tip comes from the small muscle group in the sirloin primal.
